Blizzard has released a new digital short, “Dragons,” that focuses on Overwatch‘s Shimada brothers, Hanzo and Genji.

“Dragons” maintains the level of excellent storytelling seen in other Overwatch animated shorts, delivering equal parts of action and insight. Like the shorts before, it also showcases many of the character’s in-game abilities, such such Genji’s Deflect and Hanzo’s Dragonstrike—his ultimate that empowers his arrow with the spirit of two dragons and can cut through terrain.

One of the most interesting parts of the short (which you may consider a spoiler, so just watch the above video and then read this again) is that Genji’s ability to counter Hanzo’s ultimate is shown in the video. This move can be pulled off in the actual game, and caused quite the stir on reddit when it was revealed.
